MMM well after owning the car for nearly a week i must say i'm very impressed now i have done the few small issues like servicing it, cleaning the throttle body, clutch switch when it arrives and today had it re mapped and its made a great difference and also its very linear with fly by wire throttle.
Just my freakin luck though that a have been moved to another depot so will now have to travel 100 miles a day grr so the dilemma is do i keep it parked on the drive for weekends or do i sell it ??? i really love it but i can't stand to not be using it but mmm i don't know

[quote=martinrpeachey;499610]18 to the gallon? :eek: ease off a bit dude, lol. learn some restraint and stop upsetting boys in saxos :D[/quote]thats according to the onboard computer so probably not that accurate, i reset it when i got the car and before i reset it it was showing 20 but after about 300 miles or so its 18 and thats with mainly very gentle driving although after the remap yesterday i did give it a good bit of stick of course lol

Hmmm, I reset mine every week and even though I spend a lot of time in traffic, I still get 23-26mpg. 31-35 on a run.

18mpg? Check out my thread I've just posted about average mpg on a T5. I'm getting 25 (ish) to the gallon on my 2001 T5.
